Xu Ji received a message from Duan Shengyu, asking him to finish filming the drama, and if he needed any help, just let him know.
Regarding Duan Shengyu's words, Xu Ji really needed help from him.
Whether the actors in the drama "Mountains and Seas" are older or younger, Xu Ji needs some actors with excellent acting skills.
But obviously if he searches for them one by one, the efficiency will be too slow.
So Xu Ji simply focused on the old actors in the officialdom.
Most of these veteran actors and actresses receive official salaries. Although they are considered members of the entertainment industry, they appear to be a little special.
Although his acting skills are excellent and he even won three major awards, he is not very famous.
The key is that these actors are free to take on roles, so they are very picky about scripts and roles.
Even if it is a drama invested by the Big Three, if you want to invite actors to participate, you still need a good script and characters to invite these veteran actors into your crew.
However, although these actors who work for the government do not receive high salaries, they are very picky in all aspects.
Most directors, especially directors of commercial films, would not want to trouble themselves by inviting these people.
This makes these people very special.
There is no problem with her acting skills, and she even far surpasses some of the first-line movie stars in the entertainment industry.
However, because of his high requirements and his temperament of not caring about directors and investors, he didn't have many scenes to shoot.
"What, you want me to invite the official actors to meet?"
When Duan Shengyu heard the call from Xu Ji, he was surprised but at the same time felt that it was natural.
"Most of those guys have really bad tempers."
"But if it's this drama, it wouldn't be difficult to invite them to star in it."
Duan Shengyu naturally agreed happily to Xu Ji's first request.
And because of Xu Ji's incident, he was even more satisfied with Xu Ji.
It is indeed difficult for official actors to get roles in recent years, and even some directors of gift films will dislike these people. They always like to argue with the director on the set and become unhappy.
It's a good thing that Xu Ji can use these actors.
Of course, as for whether he can persuade these people to star in the role and whether he can suppress them on the set, it depends on Xu Ji's own ability.
......
"This is the script, study it carefully."
"The rest is basically up to you."
Before leaving Chengdu to officially start filming "Mountains and Seas", Xu Ji suddenly wrote the script for Pang Er.
""The Beginning"?"
Pang Er took over the script and was a little curious about the unknown name.
For this drama, Xu Ji did not discuss the exclusive broadcast rights with Station G or other platforms in advance.
For example, Chi Jiang and others are all here for Xu Ji.
If the director is changed, even if it is Xu Ji's script and Ji Yiyang and She Yue star in it, it is very likely that he will not take the risk of buying the exclusive broadcast rights in advance.
Fortunately, Tongji Entertainment is not as short of money as before, and the investment in this drama is not large.
Xu Ji's tentative plan is to invest about 30 million yuan, and if it is not enough in the future, more will be added, but it should be more than enough.
The main reason is that I don’t want Pang Er to appear constrained by financial problems.
Tongji Entertainment can fully afford the investment on its own.
Previously, the exclusive broadcast rights of Fairy Sword Yi were sold for more than 300 million, although the filming and post-production of the entire drama cost more than 200 million.
But after tax is deducted, there is still an income of close to 100 million.
At the same time, the TV rights of Xianjianyi were also successfully sold to TV stations such as Orange Blossom, Blue Ocean, and Red Fang.
Although it was not the first broadcast, the three companies together collected nearly 100 million in copyright fees.
And as long as the copyright is in hand, the three-year contract signed with Station G and several TV stations will still bring a lot of income to the company every year if it expires.
In addition, the copyright fees for Sha Yetong's songs on the two major music platforms are higher than those of some first-line singers.
As for the variety show announcement fees and performance fees of Ji Yiyang, Sha Yetong and others, they only account for a small portion of Tongji Entertainment’s current income.
......
After the release of Sha Yetong's three audio-visual songs, the entire album showed its dominance in the music scene in May.
The four songs that have been released have firmly occupied four of the top five spots on the new song charts of the two major music platforms.
The only thing occupying the fourth position is a new song from Zhuo Lan's album.
And the pre-sales of the album have completely exploded.
It has successfully exceeded two million pre-sales.
Based on Blue Star’s typical price of three yuan for a song, Sha Yetong’s ten-song album is priced at thirty yuan.
In other words, although this album has not yet been officially released, sales have already reached a huge 60 million.
Although it has not reached the top 100 single album sales record in the Chinese music industry, it is only a matter of time before it enters the top 100.
As for the second place is Zhuo Lan, the current album pre-sales have just exceeded one million.
And the growth rate has gradually become much slower.
Unlike Sha Yetong’s, she looks very energetic.
Internet users are looking forward to whether Sha Yetong can hit the top 100 album sales record in the Chinese music scene.
The current sales record of the 100th place was set by a veteran singer.
Just over 100 million.
In fact, from more than 90 to 100, the results are almost the same.
The higher the album sales, the smaller the gap between each one.
......
In a certain venue in the capital, many official actors have gathered at this time.
"Old Chen, why are you here too?"
Most of these actors know each other, and many of them are old friends for many years.
"Duan Laorang is here."
"If you can't say it, you won't give him face."
Chen Kang is now over 50 years old. He started acting in his twenties and has been acting for nearly thirty years now.
Of course, although he has acted for so many years and even contributed many classic screen images, Chen Kang has never become famous.
This has a lot to do with his own character, or the official actors are all similar.
Most people pursue the profession of actor more than wanting to be popular.
If it was to pursue fame and fortune, he would not choose to stay in the system, but go to the three major entertainment companies.
Actors like Chen Kang who have won Best Supporting Actor in the three major awards for film and television dramas, in addition to the highest-level Star Award, Peony Award and Yunyu Award, will be very welcome.
Even if it's just to let him guide the young actors in his company, it's still worth it.
"This Xu Ji is quite proud, and he can let Mr. Duan call all of us here."
Chen Kang said.
But he was only giving face to his superior, Duan Shengyu.
I didn’t think I would participate in this young director’s new drama.
In other words, not only him, but also most other actors think so.
"Mr. Duan is here!"
Someone said.
The buzzing scene became quiet, Duan Shengyu walked in, and behind him, followed a young and handsome young man.
